SPM® QWS 2500 XL Frac Pump

Next generation, purpose-built to work for you in the

harshest hydraulic fracturing environments Oil & Gas

Features and Benefits

• New bolt-on pinion bearing
carrier improves serviceability and
prevents potential frame damage
should a bearing clock in the frame
due to overload
• Larger pinion bearing for up to 4x
the service life of previous designs
• Thicker bottom plate and change
in geometry to enhance power
frame rigidity
• New frame design with improved
weld joint technology increases
fatigue life
• Optimized bearing and gear
mesh lubrication for improved
performance

As the industry continues to evolve, so do our pumps. The enhanced design of the
SPM® QWS 2500 XL delivers extended service life and an increased rod load of
207,000 lbf even under the most challenging conditions of shale play operations.
The addition of a bolt-on bearing carrier protects the frame, pinion, and bull gear
in the event the bearing clocks in the frame due to overload. This results in faster,
more cost effective repair, keeping your assets in the field. Additionally, Weir
engineering has evaluated and selected a larger Tier 1 bearing specifically for this
application and optimized the lubrication through the bearing groove for a service
life up to 4x longer than previous generation pinion bearings.
An updated frame design (patent pending) with improved geometry utilizes
advances in welding design and technology to significantly improve the fatigue life
of the frame. The new design also includes blind tapped holes to reduce leakage.
To validate these new features, Weir completed an endurance test of more than
one million cycles at 107% rod load. The SPM® QWS 2500 XL passed the test and
validated the increased rod load of 207,000 lbf.
This pump can be equipped with the SPM® Duralast® fluid end, which is proven to
extend the life over conventional SPM® fluid ends. This combination is designed to
significantly increase system uptime and lower total cost of ownership over the life
of the pumping asset.
